GET INVOLVED
Be a part of Gloucester’s history and make a real difference to your community by volunteering at the Folk.
The Folk is run by a friendly team of volunteers but we always need more. It’s a great way to make the most of your skills, learn new skills, make new friends and have fun. There are lots of opportunities such as meeting and greeting, helping in the cafe and bar, conducting tours, organising our events, stewarding, building maintenance, administration and lots more.
New volunteers are given an induction to support their training. An interest in the city’s history is useful but not essential. We welcome those who can sign up to regular shifts, or people who can only spare a little time around their other commitments.
Are you able to help?
There are many tasks from Meeting and Greeting, helping in the café, helping run events and stewarding.
Volunteering is great fun. It allows you to get behind the scenes and really make a difference not only to Gloucester but this Fantastic Building!
You’ll also meet people and make new friends.

TRADING OPPUNTUNITIES
The Folk of Gloucester is at an exciting time in its development.
We are breathing life back to the Folk with an exciting and varied mix of events that attract residents and visitors alike.
Previously we have hosted audiences of 500 visitors during apple day, over 800 visitors for our steampunk festival and recently we have issued over 1600 tickets for Historic Gloucester in Lego.
Working with our Traders is as important to us as working with our funders such as The Cathedral Quarter and Historic England. Without your support many of these events wouldn’t happen.
We want to build long lasting mutually beneficial relationships. To us you are more than a number.
